The London Treaty defined a "light cruiser" as one having a main armament no greater than 6.1 in (155 mm) calibre, all three major naval powers sought to circumvent the limitations on heavy cruiser numbers by building "light cruisers" that were equal in size and effective power to heavy cruisers.These ships made up for their smaller calibre guns by carrying larger numbers of them.All of these ships carried BL 6-inch Mk XXIII guns in triple turrets, with the centre gun mounted behind the two outer guns to prevent interference between the shells in flight and to give the gunners more room to work in.…

In the Royal Navy, the switch to breech-loaders was finally made in 1879; as well as the significant advantages in terms of performance, opinion was swayed by an explosion on board caused by a gun being double-loaded, a problem which could only happen with a muzzle-loading gun.The calibre and weight of guns could only increase so far.The larger the gun, the slower it would be to load, the greater the stresses on the ship's hull, and the less the stability of the ship.…

Their gun calibre alone would have caused a new and more intensive naval arms race.

Heavy mortars are large-calibre mortars designed to fire a relatively heavy shell on a high angle trajectory.Such weapons have a relatively short range, but are usually less complex than similar calibre field artillery.This category includes the "Trench Mortars" of World War I which were all too heavy and cumbersome, and hence lacked the mobility, to be classed as infantry mortars.…

Large calibre APFSDS projectiles are usually fired from smooth-bore (unrifled) barrels, though they can be and often are fired from rifled guns.This is especially true when fired from small to medium calibre weapon systems.APFSDS projectiles are usually made from high-density metal alloys such as tungsten heavy alloys (WHA) or depleted uranium (DU); maraging steel was used for some early Soviet projectiles.…

Where the large calibre makes it possible to make room for electronics and the battery.But later they will find their way into small calibre firearms.As the inner-ballistics will change between the projectiles fired (Depending on the properties that the projectiles acquired during the reloading process).…

Born in Turin, Cuniberti is best known for an article he wrote in Jane's Fighting Ships, advocating a concept known as the "all-big-gun" fighting ship.Up till then naval powers had developed ships with a mixture of guns with different calibres.There was constant experimentation with calibres and layout.…

After the Waitakere Rangers, Hutt Valley Lakers and Northland Suns left in the late 1990s, many thought the league would become much weaker but it proved the opposite as only the best New Zealanders and imports were selected due to the small size of the league at the time.The league continued to improve with higher calibre players joining the league.High school standouts, like former North Harbour Kings player Kirk Penney, chose to play in the league until they left to play college basketball.…

The design process for these ships often included discussion of an 'all-big-gun one-calibre' alternative.The June 1902 issue of Proceedings of the US Naval Institute contained comments by the US Navy's leading gunnery expert Prof. P.R Alger proposing a main battery of eight guns in twin turrets.…
